arkie baits

Is there a depth chart for the arkie crank baits. I bought a few to try pullin behind my boat but I don't know how much line to let out. Also how fast do you pull the arkie baits thanks jax

There's a crank bait chart on the Mississippi board. Crankbaits 101 or something like that.

Arkies aren't on it tho. They aren't gonna run very deep but they handle up to 2 mph easy. Most of us down here are using a weight in front of them and pushing them, great bait for pushing.

The Arkies work great pushing with a 3 oz. trolling weight about three ft. Above them. Push them at 1.6 to1.8 mph. Control depth with weight. Depth will be approx two thirds the length of line out layed back at a 45 degree angle.

yep theysaidtheysaid

Thanks for info jax

are you running weight on bottom and crankbait above it?

Weight about 3 foot above the crank.

As in main line, weight, leader, crank.
Just to make sure I'm on the right page, the Arkies are about half the size of a Bandit?

Yes, bout half the size of a bandit, sharp little hooks too!!!!!:yikes
